#013 - Triggers

May 21, 2020 21:40 - 1 hour - 98 MB

In this episode we're pullin' the trigger...on triggers. Why are so many of us so easily offended by so many things?

#011 - Masculinity

April 23, 2020 03:35 - 1 hour - 90.6 MB

In this episode we try to untangle the mangled mores of modern masculinity. Are men improving?

#010 - Religion

April 08, 2020 19:07 - 1 hour - 98.5 MB

#008 - Sex & Peace

March 11, 2020 23:15 - 1 hour - 96.6 MB

In this episode we're penetrating the seductive world of sex. From kinks and fetishes to porn addiction and depression. Do most draw a line at all things poop? Is is wrong to think that feet are gross? And is it possible to find peace and balance in a societal sea of sexual signals? Cue the K-Y, cuz we're goin' conversationally spread eagle on this one.

#007 - Simulation Theory

March 07, 2020 00:20 - 1 hour - 118 MB

In this episode we try to cover the questions of the cosmos and consciousness. Is Mr. Musk onto something? Are we indeed in a simulation? Or is this simply the newest way humans are attempting to make sense of the perplexing nature of existence? (Initiate boot up sequence.)

February 18, 2020 22:52 - 1 hour - 72.8 MB
